I really wish they didn't fuck with the Xbox 360s controller so much.. The bumpers/triggers plus size/shape seem like a step back on the One.

Yeah I also had no issues with the bumpers, I'm kind of surprised it is a such a popular complaint online

I keep telling my friends that Halo is back but they won't listen.
I polished off the new (Halo 4) achievements this morning. As has been the tradition of late, I did them in matchmaking solo, and I had a hell of a time getting the one for assassinating the Ricochet ball carrier 5 meters from your goal. I must have played 30-some matches trying to get that shit.

They didn't mess with it much at all it seems. Triggers look the same just a bit more curved like the og xbox. Bumpers are the same except bigger. The size seems the same to me[grizz or the other guy should comment otherwise]. The shape is the same just the end of it is less round but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Stop hacking accounts, Heckfu.

I'd say the triggers are a definite improvement over the 360 controller.
All they had to do was fix the dpad really. The bumpers seem like a downgrade.

Nice.
I'm not a fan of the Ricochet shot clock because it doesn't seem to have a proper cool down. If you toss the ball away at the peak of the audible warning you explode if you pick it up again, even after waiting a minute.
Here's one for you.
Code:
[B]Blitzenball[/B]
Fly it in for 20 points.
Toss it in for 5 points.
1 point for an Assist.
First to 100 wins.
Gametype: [URL="http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/runnokyardrun/halo4/fileshare#!/?section=GameSettings&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&startIndex=0"]Blitzenball[/URL]
Map: [URL="http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/players/runnokyardrun/halo4/fileshare#!/?section=GameMap&SearchDate=7&SortBy=2&view-select=Tile&startIndex=0"]Toxic[/URL]. Set in the toxic wasteland outside of Pitfall.

The floor is made of upside down grav volumes.
They act as a floor for the ball and slow a player's descent.
Touching the actual floor is instant death.

Boxer or Default controller layout recommended.

Naturally, the Jetpack Grifball version looks better.
You can't activate the light of neutral goals on Ricochet.

Wait, you can go outside the Pit?
It's just a bit better in the 360 dpad in that it feels less like you're pressing down an awkwardly shaped button .
But in terms of overall quality, it's still not great, but it's not shit anymore either (in my opinion)
It's a huge open space. About the size of 6 grids.
Unfortunately, you don't get many Forge items to work with so you can't build any significant strictures. The above map uses the entire budget and all of the structural items other than Pallets. You don't even have any Grids or Dominion pieces to work with.
Pitfall doesn't support Dominion? Need to stop this symmetrical maps not supporting symmetrical gametypes thing..

How hard is it to just use the d-pad from the original xbox? Why do they feel a d-pad needs to have 8+ directions? 4 is what it's for dammit.

og xbox dpad was ok but i am sure the xone will be better than that. From what i've heard it is significantly better than the 360 dpad.
On the other hand, they supplied more forge pieces than you can possibly use in the interior of the structure. You have to use glitches to get outside of Pitfall. It was never intended to be a forge space.

I wonder if there could be an update where you can use the other forge pieces?
That would be cool to see.
I was stalking the TeamBeyond forums, and saw this writeup by Saucey, it's a good read, you all should check it out.
They could, in theory (barring memory limitations and file format limitations)
This would require them to ever actually update Forge in any manner, though.
I laughed when I ran into 360 games that used the dpad as a button. Not 'press this direction', they just prompted you to press the entire dpad down as a single button.
I doubt they would support any content outside of Pitfall. It's pretty glitchy out there. I made a point of hiding all the dropouts and untextured areas in the above screen shots.

Meh, I'm still mad they ditched Invasion. I can't even properly bring it back since the bro spawning function is broken in 4.

Feels like a Halo fan:
Accepting less and making excuses for it.
To piggyback off that, the only reason we'll see major changes/additions to Halo multiplayer on the Xbox One will be due to the drop off in population with Halo 4 and overwhelming negative fan impressions. The cycle is either going to repeat itself and we'll be left with another subpar Halo experience or they'll finally realize the power in advancing Halo's customization and matching people up based on what they want to play, when they want to play it. The features also have to blow us away with things like a fully realized FF mode, Spectator mode, CGB/Optimatch, etc.

Is it possible to have a similar gametype with multiple tiers, though?

Then it's your divine duty to save Halo, Gabo.
I thought it did? It has Dominion Turrets.
The weird one was Complex. It even has buildings that scream 'we make awesome Dominion bases'.
Oh god I hope not.

Good to hear the Xbox One controller might not be as awkward as I heard.

Does anyone on HaloGAF still play 3/Reach/4 on a regular basis? I've been trying to get back into objective but it's a bit difficult since nobody uses mics anymore in global chat.

Someome interested in testing my Rocket Race and Rocket Hog Race variants? possibly this wednesday.
If anyone is interested send me a PM with your GT or simply quote my post, if you get into the testing lobby please do not distribute the gametype.
Also, anyone got a 48h LIVE code :/

The DS3 is great. Hope the sticks are like it.

I would not be surprised if this is what Halo 5 looks like.
What are your thoughts on the bumpers/triggers? Also, how about the joysticks? They look nubby but comfortable.

If you have any extras let me know : )
Triggers felt fine, honestly. Nothing stuck out negative or positive to me during my time with it so I don't imagine they're THAT different. The build we were playing didnt have rumble enabled, either, so I can't attest to how that feels.
Bumpers I noticed a little weirdness to but can't necessarily pinpoint what I didnt like or did like...but i'm sure like anything else we'll get used to it.
Joysticks were shorter but like I said above, the grip was amazing. Felt so good.

No even sony had to change them. And the x1 analog is 25 percent loose according to MS so it shouldn't be much of a difference.

Let's hope not. Not that there is anything wrong with that kind of gameplay but it isn't halo. I'm kind of surprised MS hasn't explored other subgenres of shooters within the Halo IP though.

Yeah the bumpers seem like they feel/function similar to a 360 controller that has sticky or nonfunctional bumpers. Glad to hear about the joysticks though, I just noticed you said "Xbox One sticks" up top lol
Killzone Shadow Fall looks pretty fun, but I know that sluggish movement and terrible jump height will get to me. And I'd love for that bolded, so much untapped potential.
I've been playing my Ps3 lately and the controller is terribad. Sticks are way too loose.

There are a few guys that play Halo 4 quite frequently.
ExWife, myself, Daedelus(wtf how do you spell this shit), Ice, Wahrer, some others. I'm not sure how often they play, but I typically get on 2-3 times a week for a few hours.
